Partnerships

The INTERPOL Environmental Crime Programme is dependent on external sources for its funding. This financial support comes from a number of different sources: government agencies and departments from our member countries, non-governmental agencies, and charitable funds and organizations. We also accept technical and logistical assistance from a similar range of sources.

In addition to the support of all of our member countries, we would particularly like to acknowledge the invaluable financial support of a number of governmental and non-governmental organizations and foundations.

We hope that their leadership will encourage other organizations and environmental law enforcement authorities to follow suit in supporting our vital work.
